The type

Thirty hundredweight is a ton and a half — British commercial vehicle nomenclature that persisted well into the motor age, inherited from horse-drawn carting where a wagon was rated by what a team could reasonably pull.

Manufacturers of this era generally sold a chassis with a cab and left the back end to a local coachbuilder, so no two trucks from the same batch looked quite alike. A good piece for a workshop, garage or an office wall of anyone in haulage.
